In this regard, Roland Barthes's theory of five codes can be considered as a kind of layered semiotics that is a good tool to solve the literary complexities of fictional texts and decipher the meanings contained in it. The novel "Muftah Lanjavi" by the contemporary Lebanese author Faten alMurr, despite its contemporary style and multi-layered structure, can be a good example of the implementation of this theory.
